tomary with ME to make the nests for my
fall settlers after this fashion:
First, select rather secluded spot in or
about the chicken house and loosen ND the
earth. Then wet it thoroughly and place
about it a wooden frame with neither top
nor bottom. Then fill in on top of the wet
earth with dry dirt to the depth of two or
three inches, shaping it into the right form
Tor nest. Within this space put fresh,
green grass, and on it place the eggs The
result is cool, moist nest that is both graft
Tying to the hen and beneficial to the eggs.
And as result nearly every egg matches.
When Matched, however, do not take the
chickens from the nest until the Youngest
one is fully "A hours old, for l believe they
need lowering more than food during the
first day of their existence. From the nest
they are taken to rat and cat-proof can
vas-covered bottomless coop, which is inside
OF chlcken-proof pen about Meet square.
Sawdust or sand is placed inside the coop
and the hen and her brood deposited there
directly from the nest The hen is fed first
on whole grain, and then when she is pretty
well satisfied the first feed for the little
chicks is placed before them which consists
OF hard-boiled egg and potato crumbled up
together. The potato is alternated with oat
meal uncooked A little meat is given them
every other day and occasionally little red
pepper with their food of a morning. The
hen is thoroughly busted with Persian in
sect powder as soon as taken from the nest,
and twice a week thereafter for the first
three weeks. The chickens are fed four and
five times day as above described, and
they thrive wonderfully when so cared for

Fall Chickens.

Mr.. II. b. Greer, in the Southern Cult
vdtor, says that fall chickens may be reared
as easily and as profitably as spring chickens
If the necessary conditions for their hatch
ing and growth are observed.
Such conditions exist and need only to be
followed TO attain success. In the first place,
We should be careful at this season of the
year TO select eggs from such fowls as have
not yet begun to noult, because eggs laid
by hens just about the time they begin to
shed their feathers will not hatch. Neither
will eggs from hens mo matter how spruce
they look mated with a cock that is moult-
ing, hatch. Hence we must be sure that
eggs we set now are from fresh, healthy
looking fowls, and right now is the time to
set them. In fact, the first ten days Of
August cover the period when we may OBJ
tain the best and most fertile eggs for hatch
ing. After the middle Of the month nearly
all the hens will be in full moult, and II
they lay any at all, their eggs will be sterile.
We may set eggs now, however, with fair
prospect of satisfactory results, and 1t is
well worth while TO try two or three set
tings.
We should, however, place the nests Tor
our settlers right on the ground. II is Gus

The objectionable Sin.

The agricultural editor of the New Or
leans Pcoyune has this to say about hog
cholera: 1.-THE losses of swine from all causes
through the entire country have been heavy,
amounting to nearly 100000 during the
year"
In the above some editor has INDUCED in
pretty strong guessing, since no statistician
ON earth can tell how many hogs die of
cholera yearly. Many smuggle their dis
eased hogs to the butchers and tell nobody
about it, and tens of thousands of hogs are
sailed and saltpetred profusely and sold as
sound pork with a good brand on the head
of the barrel, or tied up into lard mixed
with cotton seed oil, and sold as extra fine,
pure, unadulterated lard, warranted by some
one who ought to have court warrant after
him and a home in the penitentiary. 1t
would be interesting if some good guessing
statistician would furnish the reading public
with the number of physicians, invalids,
professions and funerals that have followed
in the trail of this diseased hog trade. And
the farmers are at the bottom of this heart
less iniquIty, aided by butchers and pork
merchants. Farmers are not all of them
honest. They love money as well as mer-
chants do, or lawyers, or any other people
The sin of Western farmers, butchers and
cattle merchants in selling diseased meats
disguised as good meats to the consumers of
the country for many years is one of the
foulest and meanest sins that human nature
is capable of committing. If this is not
the objectionable sin it ought to be as hui
man law.

Saving Moneypn Cotton Bales.

Mr.. H. r. Harwood, in the Home and
Farm, says that unler the present system
of making cotton bahs lin which the larger
throw away. in one year $4,000,000, sup
posing the crop to be a full one, viz. 7,00O,-
600 bales, and in any other one year in pro-
portion
Strange as this assertion may appear, it
is nevertheless true, as the following will
show:
have found from personal experience,
that it pays much better to makes bales
weighing 500 pounds than bales weighing
625 pounds or more. The secret is to make
your bales of cotton weigh no more than 800
pounds. You say, / do not see it. Well,
this is itr' Here we are paid So per bale of
500 pounds for cotton seed at the gin We
are only paid 50 for the seed from bale of
G25 pounds. They gin at 1c. per pound,
bagging and ties thrown in SO there is moth
ing gained by making o bale 600 or 625
pounds. Now, if you take $500 pounds of
lint to the gin and have it made into five
bales, instead of four, who has anything to
do withits Who will lose by it! Nobody,
but somebody gains, for see, it only costs
&c. more to make the same lint into five
bales instead of four, j. e. for the extra bag
and ties % pounds, and 10c. more for weigh
ing if not weighed at the gin. Now, this
extra % pounds, at &c. per pound, will be
81 SO less SIC, making 81 &c, and SIS for
extra bale of seed, making 81 B clear profit
on four bales by making them into five,
over dollar per bale.
Now let us take the whole crop, of say,
100000 bales, and suppose 100000 are
large bales. Here we have m round num-
bers 100000 that large bales put in the
merchants and ginners pockets. By my
plan this $4,000, 900 goes into the farmers
pocket without any trouble or extra outlay
on his part Keep it for yourselves, spend
little of it on tho paper that gives you the
hint. Do not be hoodwinked any longer.
By my plan the crop will be S,000,0 900 bales
instead of 100000. This extra million
bales will represent S45, 900, 900, without the
cotton crop being increased a single lock-
There is no actual gain, except in regard to
the bag and ties, viz: buying them at 1c.
per pound and selling them at SC. per pound,
making about 81, 760, 900, to which add extra
gain on seed, less weighing, over 81 00O,G coo
which this plan gives to the Woodworking
cotton grower, instead of the merchant,
who has all along been wheedling it out of
him and promising him 10 per cent. of it,
by raising the bid on large bale two
nickles above small bale. | have always
got as good price grades alike for 800
pound bale, as the man with his $50 pound
bale, and the other $50 pounds went to to-
wards the next bale
The merchant may be able to control some
things. but in regard to cotton-bale making
he is helpless; do not hand this 100000 to
him and then go around town begging for
10 per cent. of your own money, but get
your bales SO that you can have your own
independent of the merchant or his two
nickles.

"Old-Time Darkiss."

from the IuUdhuSSce tftd.J IuttdhnSSeQn.
Among the colored people of this county
are a few who have never altered in the
slightest their relations 10 their former own
ers, but remain to-day where freedom, I'M
solicited and unexpectedly overlook them
twenty-five years ago Frances Barney, a
former slave Of one Of our prominent citi-
Zens, has never so much as asked for q con-
tract with her former owner She had
been cooking for the family for years be-
fore the war, and when told that she
was free American citizen she
evinced not the slightest concern, but worked
on as though nothing unusual had happened
She is right there on the same place cooking
TO day just as she did in ante beltunt DAYS.
She calls the members of the family "Mars-
teri and "Missus," just as before Abraham
Lincoln made his emancipation proclama-
ton. To food she helps herself, as she has
carried the pantry keys for thirty years
and when she wants clothing for herself'
children or husband, she calls on MARS Ju-
MUS aud either gets the clothing or the
money.
Tho difference between the manners of
the old-time darkey and the "colored gen
tlemen" Of the present day is very strik ng
indeed, and decidedly in favor of the former.
"Old Aunt Frances asked for $40 last week,
came 10 town Ia very unusual thing for herr
with her black face all wreathed with
smiles, visited various stores and in the
most polite manner possible made known
her wants, made her purchases and returned
home long before night Ms happy "a could be.
All over the South are TO be found cases
of this kind and they are the most contented
and happy specimens OF humanity on the
globe
